Welcome to Litsy!

I forgot to put this book on my list for the #FreakyFriday reading event! Have you had your “Oh, shit!” moment yet? 😅

“TNYRMSHD” is a rollicking memoir about a woman attempting to stay true to her Mormon roots, while still trying to be cool & date in NYC. It has *very little* to do with Halloween!

Meh. This was a little much for me. I grew up very religious and also overweight and there was, IMO, a lot of shaming for both in here.

Faith frustrating love is definitely something I can relate to; although ultimately the author and I have made very different choices in that regard. Still a thoughtful, well written memoir.

In case you can't tell, I am a sucker for handwritten fonts, and fonts that look like they were written on an old-fashioned typewriter. 😍 #fortheloveoffonts #readjanuary

While I really wanted to reshare my 84 Charing Cross Road post for "a dress on the cover" (yuk yuk), this is also (kind of) a dress. Elna Baker's attempts to reconcile her Mormon faith with her desire for a 21st century love life fell into my lap at the exact right moment a few years ago. Coming off a bad break-up, Baker gave me the perspective I needed: I don't have to compromise my personal identity for anyone. #ReadJanuary

Skipped yesterday because I wasn't feeling great, so here's my #longtitles. I didn't think I had this many! #booktober (That's Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day down in the bottom left if you can't read it.)
